Chapter 58 I have to finish this

ELIZABETH'S POV.

"Hello, Elizabeth."

"Lyra."

"You know her?!" Andrew shouts in pain.

"Isn't the witch named, Lyra?!" Simon asks.

I roll my eyes and signal her to stop. They all let out a breath of relief.

"Shall we go inside?" I ask looking at them as they all glare at me.

"I am not going in that place until I find out what the hell is going on!" Jeremiah shouts getting up.

I begin to walk next to Lyra to the cottage. "Don't make your trip here a waste hun. Now get in here before I throw you in here by your ass myself."

They eventually followed us in. "I like what you've done with the place." I commented looking around. I didn't miss the garden, now full of her well known herbs and plants and the house doesn't look as terrible as it did the last time I saw it.

"I don't like a dirty place. Plus my magic helped." She shares a cup of her favorite tea, Cerasee tea in a cup and hands it to me. At first I hated the bitterness but she got me hooked on this thing now. I take a seat at the small table.

I look by the door to see the idiots standing at the door. "She doesn't bite."

"No, but I do." Andrew comments.

"Oh, I know that." I smirk.

He sighs and avoids eye contact with me. How cute.

"I thought you were dead." Jeremiah says looking at Lyra.

"I was but with some help, here I am." She sits down across from me with a cup of tea in her hand. "I understand you're looking for something."

"How'd you know?" Daniel asks.

"White flower in the third row. Take as much as you want."

No one moves and Simon looks around confused. "Should I just get the thing or what?"

"You said you didn't know who she was." Jeremiah says looking directly at me.

"No? Ok." Simon takes a step back and leans on the wall.

"I did, didn't I?" They all raise their eyebrows at me. I tilt my head and purse my lips. "Do you want me to say sorry? No one needs to know she's back."

"You brought her back. Why?"

"To bring my family back."

"Family, you mean-"

"All of us."

"Elizabeth, you can not bring back over a hundred succubus'! Is that even safe?"

I pause realizing I never asked or questioned that. I shake my head and sigh, "I don't care and I will."

"Why?!"

"This continuous war needs to end and it is my job to finish it. We will stop the demons!"

"You've got us. We have more people on our side."

I scuff. "Please, like they can stop anything. Something bigger is coming this time. Bigger than ever before and only us can stop them. Not you!" I say looking directly at Simon.

"You can trust us."

"I don't trust anyone! All people do is betray me. I let my guard down after so many years and then I let you break it." I say referring to all of them. I pause with my mouth quivering remembering all that pain I went through all those years ago. It still affects me. "I only got my family and trust me I wouldn't have come back if this wasn't important."

I look at Andrew with pleading eyes. Ugh I hate feeling vulnerable. "Please understand."

He takes a long pause conflicted with himself. Eventually he said ok. They all hesitantly agreed.

"You can trust us, Elizabeth." Andrew assured me. I didn't answer him and it just left us a awkward silence.

Lyra took them outside to get the plant they wanted and left me in here with Simon in an annoying silence. If that makes any sense.

"So-" He begins.

"No."

"Ok." He purses his lips and looks around awkwardly. "It's cool in here."

"Leave me alone."

"Please talk to me." He begs.

"No, I don't like you."

"You liked me before."

"No I didn't and that was before you got Cristian killed." He shuts up immediately and looks the other way. Good.

I lean my head back and close my eyes to pass the time.

"Why do you feel incline to stop all this."

"Oh my god Simon- wait what are you talking about?"

"You obviously feel guilty for something."

I pause getting flashbacks and blink rapidly trying to get it from my mind. I sigh and say, "You're right. I did do something that I shouldn't have and it got me into this mess. You happy?"

"What did you do?" I give him a look and he puts his hands in surrender and drops it.

"They just have to consume it."

"They are out of their mind, how are we going to get them to?" Daniel asks.

"Shove it down their throat." Anna suggest.

"I ain't putting my hand down there."

"Stop being a wuss."

"I will not get my hand eaten off just to save somebody."

"Fine, I'll do it myself, can you two stop complaining?" Andrew asks clearly annoyed.

"Yeah." They both mumble.

I could feel Elle scratching in the back of my mind, wanting back in control.

"I don't know if I should thank you-" Andrew begins.

"There is no need to." Lyra.

"I still want to know what you two have planned."

I stand up. "I will be letting Elle back in control." I turn to Lyra and give her a look. She understands that she can tell them what they need to know but nothing unnecessary right now. I will do that myself.

ELLE'S POV.

With a blurry vision I see five people standing in front of me. One run towards me and I immediately knew it was him when I caught his scent.

I didn't realize I was stumbling back until Andrew called out my name.

I hate when this happens.....

I slowly open eyes and take in my surrounding. The room is small with walls are made of exposed brick and a wooden ceiling. From the looks of it, this place was made a long time ago.

I hear a door open to see a familiar woman with platinum blonde hair. I sit up in the bed and watch as she comes towards me with a cup in her hand.

"Drink this, it helps with the pain."

"Thank you, but I don't have a headache."

"I'm talking about your baby. You still have pains don't you?"

How does she even know that?

I nod and take the tea. "What is it?"

"It's best if you don't know." I look at her curiously but then realized she's probably right.

I take a small sip of the and it didn't taste bad at all. It first has a weird taste, unexplainable then it has a strong mint after taste. I like it. I take a larger gulp and I could feel myself relax.

"Who are you?"

She smiles. "You already know who I am."

Then it hits me. I remember everything that happened when Elizabeth was in control. "You're the witch." I stated. "What did you mean about my baby and my pregnancy?"

"You being a werewolf and a succubus is a lot for one person, to have two soul in one. But adding a baby, that's a different story. Your child will take characteristics from both of your souls but it doesn't mean it will be a hybrid." She looks at me with sympathy and places her hand on mine which is surprisingly cold. "You can die if it is too much for you."

My heart drops to my stomach hearing this. But this doesn't make sense.

"But my mother, she didn't have difficulties."

"Are you sure about that?" Well she never told me and Anna was too young to even remember.

Is it worth all of this? What if I go through all this and it's just for nothing and everyone dies in the end?

"I can feel the power radiating off you and soon will the demons. Whatever you do, do not let them get their hands on this child." She says sternly looking straight into my eyes. Her voice sent chills down my neck and I'm more worried about why the demons would want my baby.

"Is everything ok?" Andrew knocks on the door.

My mood instantly brightens and I just want his arms around me. "Yes. Everything is just fine."

I am a terrible person. I want to tell him the truth but I don't want him to worry any more than he does. When he finds out the baby will be a threat to my health he will not want me anywhere near this war.

I can't let that happen. I have to finish this once and for all.
